IEEE MASS 2010 Student Travel Support

该项目为学生参加将于 2010 年 11 月第一周举行的第七届 IEEE 国际移动自组织和传感器系统会议 (MASS) 提供旅行支持。MASS 在很短的时间内（6 年）已成为首屈一指的国际技术场所，并一直以高质量的工作吸引着来自世界各地的与会者。该会议在提供信息交流的绝佳论坛方面已经享有盛誉。 2010 年，第七届 MASS 将于 11 月第一周在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。由于距离硅谷相当近，MASS 2010 有望吸引学术界和工业界创纪录的参与。在 NSF 的支持下，MASS 能够为之前的所有场馆提供学生旅费补助。提供旅费补助对于实现鼓励学生参加技术会议的目标非常有效，特别是对于贫困学生群体。除了主会议外，MASS 2010 还将举办多个研讨会和演示/海报会议。无论学生打算采取什么职业道路，参与此类活动都是他们教育和培训的重要组成部分。

This project provides travel support for students to attend the 7th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) to be held during the first week of November 2010. MASS has become a premier international technical venue in a very short period of time (6 years) and has been featuring work of excellent quality attracting attendees from all over the world. The conference has already gained its prominence in providing a superb forum for information exchange. In 2010, the seventh edition of MASS will take place in San Francisco, California, USA during the first week of November. By being located fairly close to the Silicon Valley, MASS 2010 promises to attract record participation from academia and industry. For all its previous venues, MASS has been able to provide student travel grants thanks to NSF's support. Making travel grants available has been very effective in accomplishing the goal of encouraging student participation in technical meetings, especially in the case of under-privileged student populations. Besides the main conference, several workshops and a demo/poster session will take place as part of MASS 2010. Student participation in such events is a critical part of their education and training no matter what career path they plan to take.
